Karyological study in backcross hybrids between the sterlet, Acipenser ruthenus, and kaluga, A. dauricus (Actinopterygii: Acipenseriformes: Acipenseridae): A. ruthenus × (A. ruthenus × A. dauricus) and A. dauricus × (A. ruthenus × A. dauricus)

Background. Acipenserid fishes may be divided into three groups in terms of their ploidy levels: 1) 120-chromosomes, 2) 250–270-chromosomes, and 3) about 370-chromosomes. The experimental crosses show that sturgeon species with the same ploidy often produce fertile hybrids, whereas the...
